A student builds a circuit to make a lamp light. The circuit contains a cell, a switch, a lamp and connecting wires.
Draw the circuit diagram for this circuit. Use standard circuit symbols.
Give the name of the component that provides the potential difference in this circuit.
The student wants to measure the current in the lamp. Describe where the ammeter must be placed.
82 exam-style questions on AQA GCSE Physics 2.1 Current, potential difference and resistance, covering 2.1.1 Standard circuit diagram symbols, 2.1.2 Electrical charge and current, 2.1.3 Current, resistance and potential difference, and 2.1.4 Resistors. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
